A Millersburg man being held in connection with five counts of criminal sexual conduct involving young boys has accepted a prosecutor’s plea agreement.David Wayne Parker, 46, has pleaded guilty to seven counts of child abusive sexual activity that involved boys under the age of eight in both Presque Isle and Cheboygan counties. In addition, Parker also admitted to three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child under the age of seven.“The agreement in Presque Isle County will incorporate our victims,” said Cheboygan County Prosecutor Daryl Vizina. “This effectively dismisses the Cheboygan County charges so they will be prosecuted in Presque Isle County.”The initial charges are punishable by up to 20 years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine. The second-degree criminal sexual conduct charges carry penalties of up to 15 years of incarceration and lifetime electronic monitoring. Parker admitted to photographing for distribution the genitalia of three boys aged 7 years and 8 years of age. The crimes involved two youths in the city of Cheboygan and were investigated by the Cheboygan Department of Public Safety, a report states. The other child is from Presque Isle County.Parker had 11 charges in Presque Isle County similar to those he faced in Cheboygan. Sentencing is scheduled for Presque Isle County’s 53rd Circuit Court on Feb. 11.
